The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 264

On the fourth floor of Jinfeng Terrace, a small kitchen was temporarily built.A man in a blue shirt was kneading his face with a crying face.Suddenly a red figure floated past, the man in green shirt picked up a piece of dough and threw it over, but it missed. "Hahaha..." A woman's laughter came, and the man in the blue shirt showed displeasure.The woman in red approached the man in blue, and sat on the table with one hand on her buttocks, making a charming pose.The man in the blue shirt knew without looking, who else could do this kind of kung fu besides Hong Feng?Hong Feng smiled and said: "Beiming, Beiming, you are really not good at skills, no wonder you were demoted to be a chef by His Majesty!"

Beiming's face was almost wrinkled into the folds of the steamed stuffed bun. He cried and said, "It's all because of my ancestral home! If it wasn't because my ancestral home was in Yongzhou, I wouldn't be able to get this job!" Hong Feng shook her head disapprovingly. Shaking his head, he said: "In my opinion, Beiming, you have a good job. I see how much Your Majesty cares for that Miss Liu. If Beiming pleases Miss Liu, the future will be bright!"

Beiming's eyes flickered a few times, his face became serious, and he said, "Tell me what your majesty thinks. Although it has been delayed for so long, the marriage between the prince and Miss Liu will always be done. At that time, your majesty can What should I do?" Hong Feng pouted her head for a while, then sighed: "It would be fine if the other party is not the prince, if not, I can..." Hong Feng narrowed her eyes and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Beiming snorted disdainfully, and said, "It's not the prince, I've killed him long ago. How could he get half a step closer to Miss Liu!" While talking, steam was billowing from the steamer, and soon White mist surrounds the entire kitchen. "Oops!" Beiming hastily opened the steamer, hurriedly took out a plate of distiller's lees crisps, poked it lightly with chopsticks, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise it would have been steamed for a long time, and I would have to redo it again! "

As he spoke, Beiming put the distiller's lees crisps into a tray, held it in his hand, and strode out. "Stop!" Hong Feng yelled coquettishly, picked up a human-face mask from the table and threw it at it, "Put your face on! Don't let Miss Liu become suspicious and implicate Your Majesty again!" Putting on the human face mask, he changed back to Pao Ding in his early forties in an instant.Cook Ding smiled honestly, and said: "From your tone, it seems that you know Miss Liu very well!"

Hong Feng thought about it seriously, shook her head, and said: "I don't understand, but according to my experience, I'm afraid Miss Liu doesn't even know herself. In other words, Miss Liu may not like the prince, but it doesn't mean that Your Majesty has hope." " "Doesn't it mean you didn't say that!" Pao Ding gave Hong Feng a disdainful look.Hong Feng went back unceremoniously, and shouted: "Send your food, Mr. Stinky Cook!"

On the top floor of Jinfeng Terrace, the servant brought a box and placed it on the long table.Xuan Shidu gave a look, and the servants quickly cleared away all the dishes on the table, and then withdrew together with the dancers in the hall, closing the door gently.Ruan Zhuqi and Xuan Shidu were the only two people left in the room. Ruan Zhuqi asked curiously, "What is it? Do you want to make it so mysterious?"

Xuan Shidu smiled, opened the brocade box, and took out a large round porcelain bottle filled with ice cubes.A group of ordinary seven-petaled flowers with two or three thin leaves stood alone in the middle of the ice.Ruan Zhuqi looked left and right, but she didn't think there was anything special about this flower, so she said, "It's just an ordinary flower. It's orange-yellow with a hint of blue in it, which is rare, but it's not very special, is it?"

Xuan Shidu didn't answer directly, but just clapped his hands twice.The servants outside the door heard the signal and quickly took action.There was a sound of hurried footsteps running around the entire periphery of the fifth floor, and soon the windows, doors and other places that could see through were covered with a layer of black cloth.Ruan Zhuqi was about to complain that Xuan Shidu had made the lights go out of order, when suddenly a faint trace of impression flickered in front of Ruan Zhuqi.

The seven-petal flower on the ice cubes emits a shimmer of different colors on each petal. The colorful lights are reflected by the ice cubes and reflected back on the petals, forming a colorful halo.Ruan Zhuqi stared in amazement at the originally unattractive little flower in front of her, but there was such a miraculous sight.Xuan Shidu approached Ruan Zhuqi, sniffed it in his ear, and said, "This is the 'seven-color colored glaze' that blooms every 20 years in Nanhai. A few years ago, Gao Zhan got a few plants from Nanhai and kept them in the palace. It just opened. Today is a special day, so I’ll let you play with it.”

Ruan Zhuqi frowned in distaste, since she's not a dog, what are you sniffing for?But thinking about Xuan Shidu's generous gift of such a precious thing, I'm still quite happy.It's just that the flowers are kept on ice, and Hu Luguang's Youxiangfu will not store so many ice cubes... Wait, Xuan Shidu just said that today is a special day... Ruan Zhuqi looked at Xuan Shidu with a puzzled face. Shidu, Xuan Shidu looked at Ruan Zhuqi with a hopeless look, and said, "March 24, the year of Wuchen, is someone's birthday." The year of Wuchen... is the 14th year of Datong.Ruan Zhuqi was slightly taken aback, it was her own birthday.Ruan Zhuqi has always been unable to remember her birthday, because in the past, her aunt and fourth uncle remembered it better than her.A month in advance, the aunt began to make new clothes and shoes for her.For three days before and after, Ruan Wenyong would definitely stay by Ruan Zhuqi's side every step of the way, trying every means to make her happy.

The reason why Ruan Zhuqi couldn't remember was because her birthday didn't make any difference to her.Because the aunt made clothes for her whenever she had time, there were many clothes in Ruan Zhuqi's box that had never seen the sun.Ruan Wenyong has always been responsive to Ruan Zhuqi's request, or he didn't need to ask for it at all, Ruan Wenyong knew what she was up to with just a look or a small movement from Ruan Zhuqi.

Birthdays are really rare things for Ruan Zhuqi now, Ruan Zhuqi blushed slightly, and whispered, "Thank you." "Well..." Xuan Shidu moved closer to Ruan Zhuqi, and blew in her ear , asked, "What did you just say? The voice was too low, I didn't hear clearly."

Ruan Zhuqi blushed and lowered her head to dodge, gritted her teeth and refused to say it again.Xuan Shidu was relentless and insisted on turning his face to Ruan Zhuqi's.Just like that, Ruan Zhuqi hid for a while, and Xuan Shidu moved closer, and finally the distance between the two became shorter and shorter, and they could almost hear each other's heartbeat.Ruan Zhuqi gritted her teeth and made up her mind that if Xuan Shidu took another step closer, she would call him unceremoniously.

Suddenly, there was a "creak", and a beam of strong light came in through the crack of the door, shining into Ruan Zhuqi's eyes.Ruan Zhuqi closed her eyes reflexively, Xuan Shidu hurriedly used her sleeve to help Ruan Zhuqi cover the light.

With great difficulty, Beiming replaced himself in the role of Pao Ding, and just as he stepped on the threshold, he felt a murderous gaze shoot over him.Immediately, my legs trembled, and I moved slowly inside tremblingly.

Beiming felt that if it wasn't for the mask of a smiling face on his face, his current complexion would be ugly.If he had known that Xuan Shidu and Ruan Zhuqi were flirting inside, he wouldn't have dared to break in if he had a hundred guts! "Why is there no medicine for regret in this world! Your Majesty, please don't hit me!" Beiming was about to cry in his heart.

"Huh? Cook Ding?" Ruan Zhuqi's surprised voice came from the hall, and Beiming stared at Xuan Shidu's eyes of tearing his corpse into pieces, and slowly moved to Ruan Zhuqi holding the distiller's grains. "Greetings to Ms. Liu! This is the distiller's lees cake that I just made, miss!" Beiming felt that his decision was too wise, so he ignored Xuan Shidu and directly flattered Ruan Zhuqi, maybe there was still a chance. "vitality".

Ruan Zhuqi looked at the dim sum presented by Beiming with great interest, and praised: "Wow! Your craftsmanship is good!" Beiming breathed a sigh of relief, and he obviously felt that Xuan Shidu's eyes staring at him eased. "After all, I'm a cook, so if I don't have two brushes, I don't have to mess around, right?" Xuan Shidu said in a cold tone, and Beiming broke out in a cold sweat again.

"That's right! When you were in the barracks last time, didn't you say that you want me to promote you when you come to Yecheng? We don't have any room for you in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but just now His Majesty also said that you are good at craftsmanship, so let His Majesty How about rewarding you as an imperial cook?" Ruan Zhuqi looked at Xuan Shidu excitedly, and kept winking at him.

"Quite an imperial cook?" Xuan Shidu squinted at Beiming, who quickly shook his head.Ruan Zhuqi wondered: "How can you shake your head? Don't you want to be a chef with ideals and aspirations? This is a rare opportunity!" Beiming kept shaking his head, but he didn't dare to say anything. "What's so good about being an imperial cook, let me go back to be a secret agent quickly!" Beiming prayed silently in his heart.

Xuan Shidu ignored Beiming, and said to Ruan Zhuqi: "Not all cooks like to be imperial cooks. I think this cook likes to study dishes by himself. If he doesn't study well, he may lose his head anytime, anywhere in the palace. Yes. You don’t need to worry about him, if you want to eat the dim sum made by him in the future, I promise you can eat it. Try it first, it’s almost cold.”

Ruan Zhuqi nodded half-understood, picked up a piece of distiller's lees crisps, and put the whole piece into her mouth.Xuan Shidu was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly poured a cup of tea and put it aside.Ruan Zhuqi, the clinker, just took a bite and spit it out quickly, pouting her mouth and asking Beiming, "How can you put sugar in the distiller's lees crisp?!"

Beiming was stunned for a moment, and asked instead: "Why don't you put sugar in the distiller's grains?" Ruan Zhuqi replied without hesitation: "Of course it's salt! How unpalatable it is to put sugar!"... put salt... unpalatable... Beiming felt that some of his cognitions had been subverted, and immediately corrected him: "No! The distiller's lees crisps should be filled with sugar! I've always eaten like this since I was a child!"

"Nonsense! It's obviously salt!" Ruan Zhuqi argued unconvinced.Distiller's lees crisp, a common snack, is only popular in Longyou area.Beiming didn't know that Ruan Zhuqi grew up in Longyou.On this side, Ruan Zhuqi tried his best to prove that Beiming's approach was wrong, while on the other side, Beiming insisted that Ruan Zhuqi was wrong. "Distiller's lees crisps are filled with sugar, so don't talk nonsense if Miss Liu has no experience!"
